It's cope, at least in part, to point out that the open advance of fascism in the US is several years ahead of the rest of the Western world, and that this was possible under an absolute dumbfuck embarrassment like Trump. And I get why people need to cope right now.

It's also not wrong to point out that this was enabled by the US exceptionalist mindset and particular flavor of nationalism that we've all been exposed to.

This reads as a diss against all people in the US, but it's not. I strongly empathize with and am in solidarity with those suffering under it.

I’ll have you know most of us got our gold long before the nazis came to power.

We had colonies to exploit.

The Nazis plundered Europe to get that gold. Not sure where you're getting the idea that the Nazis were a European enrichment scheme, other than maybe for Switzerland.

No. They earned it by forcing slaves to mine the land stolen from their Indigenous people.

America bravely jumped in front of the bus for you, you are welcome.

The entire political spectrum has moved considerably right, with "Fortress Europe" talk and blatant admissions that human rights aren't something we should care about.

There is no hard divide between conservatives and the far right.

Nah, it's a new brand this time

Innocent Europeans would NEVER do a fascism without a wicked Other forcing them to do it!

Didn't y'all invent it?

Well, US interference is so blatant and obnoxious that is actually counterproductive. Trump getting elected stopped a few far right movements, and others lost momentum.

Paying 2000 people in St petersburg to shit post non stop about immigration, works. Sending vance to deliver a speech, doesn't.

God dude looking at comment threads of people in Europe talking about the Romani is genuinely sickening.

Dude Romanians hate them so much it breaks my brain... I hate it here

I'm not sure about that. Each time there's conflict between Romani gangs and Muslim gangs the fascists always cheer for the Romani.

The fascist party of my country actually has some good support among the Romani communities.

Got to honor my South and Central American homies 🫡

Never mind that in those examples that they gave, none of them were elected like Trump was:

• Hitler lost the election for president; but was later appointed as chancellor by the guy that won after political pressure;

• Mussolini was appointed by the king after threats of paramilitary force;

• Leopold II was a hereditary monarch

Sorry US bros. I like you and I love you depending on the days. But just like the French will never live down the white flag meme, you will never live down that you elected a pedophile fascist TWICE.

Not that they shouldn't criticize

but the shear pretentiousness to come in and pretend it could never happen in their countries, when it already had.

Man's not heading for anything but the grave lmao, have you seen him lately? 50/50 odds he dies of natural causes before the midterms, I bet they'll try to weekend at Bernie's him for at least a few days.

Also, Leopold II wasn't elected once. Let alone twice

They weren't sending us their best, that's for sure.

Lol what maybe don't hang out with children idk cheeseburger
